When you think of Thailand, all that will come to your mind is the white sand beaches, islands and crystal clear emrald-blue waters. But Thailand is so much more than just islands & beaches and parties.

On my trip to Thailand in August earlier this year, I spent 4 days exploring the North of Thailand and it was such an exhilarating experience. I wish I had more time, but well, I enjoyed whatever time I had to the fullest and the next time I go, definitely going to spend more time in this part of the country.

This is Wat Rong Kun, also known as the White Temple, a contemporary, unconventional, art exhibit in the style of a Buddhist temple in Chiang Rai Province.

There are many more of such weird yet fascinating installations in all of Chiang Rai and if you are an architectural or art buff, you are sure going to love it here.❤️

My piano teacher growing up used to hold my arm by the wrist at lessons to get them to relax before playing the piano. 🎹 I guess they’re still ultra relaxed because Alex has been making fun of me the last few days calling me “Mr. Burns hands.” 😂😒 Anyone a piano player have this ‘problem?’ 💁🏼‍♀️

Hiked up the Big Buddha & made it to the “third eye” 👁 where you can literally “see” the most stunning view of Chiang Rai

The sun was coming up so fast that we had to set up the tripod quickly and only had a minute to get these shots. Needless to say, so happy with the results! 🤗 Are you guys a sunrise or sunset person? 🌤

A few shots from an afternoon spent with one of the cutest animals on Earth. I was in Chiang Rai when I had an urge to see these guys (cuz Thailand) and @elephantvalleythailand was only a short ride from my hostel. At this sanctuary they focus on teaching elephants how to be real elephants! The 4 here were in captivity their whole lives and they knew nothing else. Teaching basic survival skills, like to hide under a tree during a storm, is a tedious task but it needs to be done. Jack, the owner, and the team here were so great and really dedicated to helping these adorable animals. There are currently 41k elephants in south east Asia and HALF of them are in captivity. That blew my mind. HALF!! So if you are coming to Thailand or really, anywhere in the world to see elephants, make sure you go to a sanctuary! And DEF don’t ride them :) On another note I’m off to Phuket in the morning! Super excited to see another part of Thailand 😄
